So we went into Week 11 this week with both our two finalists looking for a win. But the surprise was that they picked two teams that were not that bad actually. I had thought that @cryptoandcoffee would have picked Man United alot sooner and also I had thought Spurs were gone from @saif-ul-wahab 's list but I was wrong. Going back through their teams and nope they had no picked their teams before so we were good to go. I was expecting two wins here but Tottenham decided to be the most Spursy of Spurs that they could be and had a shocking loss to Ipswich. Mad stuff which means I am happy to announce we have a winner.
@cryptoandcoffee went for Man United
@saif-ul-wahab went for Tottenham
Result
Tottenham 1 Ipswich 2 LOSS
Man United 3 Leicester 0 Win
Winner of Last Man Standing is @cryptoandcoffee
What can I say about the winner. He is a Hive loyalist and has been on the platform since the days of Steems. He is a good friend of mine and back in the day when we were hustling for Steem Power together, he was on Musings (Remember Musings, the Steem Quora) and I was into Splinterlands. He kept at it where I delved in and out of Hive. But he is here now as Hive Last Man Standing Champion. His most coveted achievement since getting into Coti in 2021. :-D. The ex rugby referee always keeps a close eye on the English sports down in Joberg in South Africa. Rumour has it he is a disaster to have in front of you at a concert because I hear he is a big unit. Anyway congratulations my friend.
Commiserations to @saif-ul-wahab on a great game. As my father once told me : "never back Tottenham" after he put the house on them to win the 1987 FA Cup final against underdogs Coventry. There is a consolation prize and we hope to see you back for the next Last Man Standing. Well played my friend.
